This is an experiment. Don't expect production quality code, it currently expects a Unix-like operating system and default application paths. The point is quickly comparing performance of the master (classic) and emscripten branches of the adblockpluscore repository.
- Node.js 7.0 or higher
- Python 2.7
- Firefox 40 or higher
- marionette_driver Python module
- jinja2 Python module
Check out master and emscripten branches of the adblockpluscore repository in two different directories, make sure to run compile for the latter (additional requirements of that branch apply). Adjust CLASSIC_LIB and EMSCRIPTEN_LIB paths at the top of run_test script if necessary. Then execute run_test script. The script will currently time processing of EasyList filters, ten times for each combination of Node.js vs. Firefox and master branch vs. emscripten branch. It will then print the median values for execution time and memory usage.
